Summary/Abstract: Gardens for the disabled people are important because they fulfill an important function. People can relax and take care of plants and trees. Second they learn to work, stay in the community and communicate with him. Garden should be designed using special technical norms. Stairs, walkways and ramps should have special dimensions tailored to disabled people. In this concept plants are designed special for disabled people. Flowers, shrubs and trees are properly chosen, so that don’t have spikes, thorns, poisonous fruits and that don’t have stinging leaves. Existing plants with such characteristics have been removed. Plants were used, which differ because of the smell, colour, texture of the leaves. Fragrancy and colour will help blind children find themselves in the field.
